Congratulations to our parish's Director of Religious Education, Mariyam Francis, who recently earned a Master's degree--with all A+ grades--in Theology and Ministry from LaSalle University. This is her second Master's (the first being in Theology), and she earned it in Rome (Italy).

It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of our parishioner, Joan Bartolomei, who also served our parish for nine years as Director of Pastoral Outreach. We commend her to your prayers, and offer our prayerful condolences to her husband, Tom, and her siblings, Judith and John.
